AbstrakMembran blend biodegradabel dengan kestabilan termal dan mekanik yang berasal dari gabungan kitosan dan PVA telah dihasilkan melalui dua tahapan. Pada tahap pertama dilakukan proses pelarutan kitosan dan poli vinil alkohol dan selanjutnya pencampuran kitosan/PVA dan asam oksalat sebagai agen pengikat silang. Asam asetat dan air dipilih sebagai pelarut untuk kitosan dan PVA. Beberapa variasi dalam proses seperti perbandingan konsentrasi kitosan:PVA, konsentrasi agen pengikat silang dan pH buffer, dijadikan sebagai parameter pada penelitian ini. Kerapatan hidrogel dan kuat tarik mengalami kenaikan seiring dengan peningkatan konsentrasi agen pengikat silang dan PVA dengan konsentrasi kitosan paling rendah. Namun derajat swelling memiliki trend yang berbeda dimana naiknya derajat swelling diperoleh seiring dengan peningkatan konsentrasi kitosan dengan kondisi konsentrasi agen pengikat silang dan PVA paling rendah. Keberhasilan proses blending dan ikat silang ditunjukkan dari hasil spektra infra merah dimana analisa spektrum infra merah dari hidrogel kitosan murni dan hidrogel kitosan/PVA menunjukkan kenaikan intensitas serapan pada daerah amida (1600 cm-1 sampai 1670 cm-1), hal ini menguatkan dugaan terbentuknya ikatan silang antara asam oksalat sebagai crosslinker dengan kitosan. Kata kunci: membran blend, kitosan/PVA, asam oksalat, pengikat silang. AbstractBiodegradable blend membranes with thermal and mechanical stability based on combination of chitosan and PVA have been produced through two stages. In the first stage, chitosan and PVA are dissolved and further mixing chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol with oxalic acid as crosslinking agents. Acetic acid and water are selected as solvents for chitosan and PVA. Some variations in the process such as comparison of chitosan:PVA concentration, concentration of crosslinking agent and pH of buffer, are used as parameters in this study. The hydrogel density and tensile strength increased with increasing concentration of crosslinking agent and PVA with the lowest concentration of chitosan. However, the degree of swelling has a distinct trend in which the increase of degree of swelling is obtained along with the increase of chitosan concentration with the lowest concentration of crosslinking agent and PVA. The success of the blending and crosslinking process is shown by the results of infrared spectra where infrared spectrum analyzes from purified chitosan hydrogels and chitosan/chloride hydrogels show an increase in absorption intensity in the amide area (1600 cm-1 to 1670 cm-1), this reinforces the alleged crosslinking formation between oxalic acid as crosslinker and chitosan. Keywords: blend membrane, chitosan: PVA, crosslinker.
Agricultural yields can be increased through fertilization. Conventional fertilization by spreading fertilizer on agricultural land is very ineffective. As much as 40-70% of the nitrogen from urea given through conventional fertilization will be leaching. This problem can be overcome by implementing a new fertilization system, namely by applying controlled fertilizer release technology or Control Release Fertilizer (CRF). The CRF system is made by loading or mixing urea fertilizer at the time of synthesis of a composite based on Arrowroot Starch-g-poly (acrylamide-co-acrylic acid)/zeolite. Fertilizer will come off gradually during fertilizing the land. Synthesis of starch-based hydrogel composite Arrowroot Starch-g-poly (acrylamide-co-acrylic acid)/zeolite loaded or mixed with urea fertilizer, has been successfully carried out. The composite's structure characterized by IR spectroscopy and its ability as CRF has also been tested through swelling and urea release tests in distilled water, phosphate buffer pH 5, pH 7 and pH 9. The results show that the swelling capacity and urea release in distilled water > Buffer pH 7 > pH 9 > pH 5. The welling degree in distilled water, Buffer pH 5, pH 7 and pH 9 is 39.078; 18,719; 36,296 and 33,510 g.g-1 respectively and the release of urea is 2,129; 1,829; 2,110; and 2,091 mg.mL-1 respectively and they showed significant differences.
Onoceranoide type of triterpene was isolated from leaf of langsep (Lansium domesticum Corr.) Isolation is conducted by vacuum and flash column chromatography technics with Silika Gel 60 F, Silika Gel 60 (70-230 mesh), and Sephadex LH-20 powder as stationery phase and mixture of dichloromethane, methanol, ethyl acetate as mobile phase. The structure was identified by Infrared and NMR spectroscopy. It has moderate insecticidal activity to Spodoptera littura larvae with LC50 13,6 ppm.
